If you stick something like

  [elfyn AT ellixia libxslt-1.0.27-1]$ cat ~/.rc/aliases
  # ~/.rc/aliases: Shell Aliases
  #
  #   This file contains Bash shell aliases for programs
  #   and scripts.

  # Directory listings
  alias ls='/bin/ls --color=tty'
  alias la='/bin/ls -a --color=tty'
  alias ll='/bin/ls -l --color=tty'
  alias lal='/bin/ls -al --color=tty'
  [...]

this in your `~/.bash_profile' file (or add them globaly in a script in
`/etc/profile.d') you'll have you ls aliases. I don't know what h is an alias
for, though. `head' perhaps? Anyhow, that should be enough to get you your
aliases.

IIRC, your shell (bash) will have to be a login shell for `~/.bash_profile' to
be sourced.
